I pray for peace and comfort for Karen, Jennifer and the entire family.
My friend Jim, leaves a great legacy. I had the privilege of working with Jim and Karen at Prudential Insurance Company in Louisville. Jim was a true leader and professional who helped guide me and many others in the insurance business and was an inspiration. He always showed true love for his family, friends and associates.
I have not seen Jim since 1991, but he sent me a Christmas card every year and I will miss getting it this year!
Fun Fact: A few days after arriving in Louisville, I played in a golf scramble with Jim. On one hole, I could not see the green and asked Jim to point out the direction. He pointed and said hit toward that tire. I looked, but could not see a tire anywhere. So I asked him to point out the tire. He pointed and said " can´t you see that tire, it must be 50 feet tall". He gave me my first lesson in speaking Louisvillian.
Rest in peace my friend!
